Dimethyl Carbonate (DMC) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- DMC
- Carbonic Acid Dimethyl Ester
Dimethyl carbonate supplier for coatings, adhesives, electronics, cleaning and chemical synthesis buyers in Malaysia. Also called DMC or carbonic acid dimethyl ester, it is a clear, colourless carbonate solvent and intermediate with CAS 616-38-6 and formula C3H6O3.
Industrial solvent grade covers general formulation and process work. High-purity or electrolyte grade is selected when water, acidity, colour and residual impurity limits are tighter, while synthesis grade is requested for a defined methylating or carbonylating route. The offered specification is confirmed with the quotation.
Coatings, ink, adhesive and cleaning formulators use dimethyl carbonate where its solvency and evaporation profile suit the system. Electronics and battery-material buyers may specify it as an electrolyte solvent component, but DMC remains distinct from propylene carbonate and other carbonate solvents.
Send the grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed for the quoted requirement, with price supplied for a stated validity period.

Dimethyl Carbonate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial solvent grade dimethyl carbonate | clear, colourless liquid | — | Solvent and formulation component in coatings, inks, adhesives, cleaning blends and general manufacturing where a carbonate solvent is specified. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity and electrolyte grade dimethyl carbonate | clear, colourless liquid | — | Electrolyte solvent component and controlled process solvent where the buyer sets tighter water, acidity, colour and residual impurity limits. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Synthesis grade dimethyl carbonate | clear, colourless liquid | — | Methylating or carbonylating reagent and chemical intermediate in synthesis routes that call for dimethyl carbonate by identity and specification. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about dimethyl carbonate
Are dimethyl carbonate and DMC the same product?
Yes. DMC is the common abbreviation for dimethyl carbonate, also known as carbonic acid dimethyl ester, CAS 616-38-6. State the full name or CAS in a purchase enquiry when the application has several carbonate solvents nearby.
Is dimethyl carbonate the same as propylene carbonate?
No. Dimethyl carbonate is an open-chain carbonate ester, while propylene carbonate is a cyclic carbonate with a different formula and performance profile. They may both be considered as solvents, but they require separate specifications and should not be substituted without formulation approval.
Which dimethyl carbonate grade should an industrial buyer request?
Industrial solvent grade suits general coatings, inks, adhesives, cleaning and manufacturing work. High-purity or electrolyte grade is chosen when the process controls water, acidity or residual impurities more tightly, while synthesis grade is requested for a defined reaction route.
What specifications matter for electrolyte-grade DMC?
Provide the water, acidity, colour, purity and residual impurity limits in the battery or electronic-material specification. The quoted grade can then be checked against the controls that matter to the electrolyte system.
Can dimethyl carbonate be used as a chemical intermediate?
Yes. It is used in selected methylation and carbonylation routes as well as in solvent and formulation work. Name the reaction or downstream product in the enquiry so the required grade and documentation can be considered.
How do I request a dimethyl carbonate price in Malaysia?
Send the grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Include preferred packing and document requirements so the quoted price can be issued with a stated validity period.
